Sooo many titles announced at Cinemacon 2026, we could hardly keep up!

This week, we discussed the news out of cinemacon that had us the most excited, concerned, or downright bored.

We got eyes on Zach Cregger’s triple feature future, including the upcoming RESIDENT EVIL adaptation and, possibly, an Aunt Gladys Spinoff?

Are we really ready to Fock around again? With the latest trailer for FOCKERS IN LAW, we’re not so sure.

And of all the carols in all the christmases, Ti West is directing this one? And it stars Johnny Depp?! Bah Humbug.

All that and a hell of a lot more, you gotta listen and you’ll get it.

Plus we have some other trailers, with COYOTE VS. ACME rising from the ashes, a new 007 FIRST LIGHT game trailer, and a very exciting, very disturbing look at the villain stand-alone film, CLAYFACE! But is it for everyone?

Finally, we get into what we’re into! From Euphoria to Love on the Spectrum, the latest update on Outlander, and a spoiler-free review of season 2 of BEEF!

It's a jolly mish mash of a discussion, so check it out wherever you find your podcasts, find us on youtube, follow us on socials, and please like, subscribe, and feel free to share your comments!

The Punch Drunk Nerd gang are back together in full strength this week, and just as well, because there are a bunch of new trailers to get into…

First we get a deeper look into what the latest DC studios venture has in store with SUPERGIRL!

Then we get an intense first look at the upcoming Appletv series remake of CAPE FEAR! It’s got a stellar cast, but is 10 episodes too many?

We then get a double-hitter from A24, with another tantalizing teaser for David Lowery’s MOTHER MARY, and our first taste of their new horror, BACKROOMS!

Does the new trailer for MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE sell us on the upcoming blockbuster, or is this just another, by-the-numbers reboot? The team might be torn.

What’re we into you might ask? Well, Miguel continues on is MCU revisit, hitting up on some of the greats, including Captain America: Civil War.

And we finally get Luis’ take on PROJECT HAIL MARY! He may have liked it so much that he may have gone straight to the book source…

All that and more this week, be sure to check it out wherever you get your podcasts. Follow, like and subscribe on socials and youtube and stay tuned for much much more.

This week’s episode covers some exciting trailer reactions, a deep dive into a highly anticipated sci-fi adaptation, and a fun debate about which apocalyptic worlds we might actually survive in.

In Trailer Talk, we react to several new trailers including Wild Horse 9, the live-action remake of Moana, and the upcoming HBO television adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. We break down our first impressions, what these projects might bring to their franchises, and what has us most curious moving forward.

Our featured discussion focuses on Project Hail Mary. We talk about the premise, the hype surrounding the adaptation, and what makes the story such an exciting entry in modern science fiction.

In Let’s Talk About This Now, the conversation turns into a fun hypothetical: which apocalyptic movie worlds would we actually have the best chance of surviving in? From chaos-filled wastelands to quieter end-of-the-world scenarios, we debate which cinematic disasters might be survivable and which would end us immediately.

And in What We’re Into, Ed has been watching Last One Laughing and shares his thoughts on the comedy competition series.

Another fun episode filled with movie talk, trailer reactions, and a few wild survival debates along the way.

This week’s episode blends awards-season reactions, blockbuster trailer hype, and some real-life conversations about tech, habits, and gaming. From Oscars buzz to the future of movie theaters, it’s a wide-ranging and fun discussion.

We kick things off with an Oscars recap, including a big win for Michael B. Jordan taking Best Actor, and what that moment means for his career and the industry. We also dive into a growing industry trend: movie studios aiming for shorter theatrical windows, with many films now staying in theaters for 5–7 weekends. We discuss what that means for audiences, theaters, and streaming.

In Trailer Talk, we react to two huge releases: Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Dune Part 3, sharing our thoughts on what these films are setting up.

Then in Let’s Talk About This Now, we get into social media habits, AI as a tool vs a crutch, and the best video game controllers.

A balanced episode mixing big entertainment moments with thoughtful conversation and a few fun debates along the way.

This week, Edward is flying solo for a short, sweet, and slightly unhinged one-man Punch Drunk Nerd episode!

First up, Netflix’s Beef is back for season 2 with a stacked cast including Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Cailee Spaeny, and Charles Melton — and honestly? It sounds messy in the best way possible.

Then I settle an ongoing group chat debate once and for all: which awards show actually carries more weight these days — the BAFTAs or the Oscars? That naturally spirals into some early Oscar predictions, possible surprise wins, and why the whole thing is still kind of a glorified popularity contest anyway.

After that, we get into a review of Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride starring Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale. Is it a bold, stylish reimagining of Bride of Frankenstein… or just a gorgeous movie full of half-baked ideas?

And before we wrap, I shout out The Secret Agent (one of the last Best Picture nominees on the watchlist) and gushes over Gorillaz’ new album The Mountain, including some standout tracks and why it might be their best since Plastic Beach.

All that and more on this week’s awkward-but-lovely solo episode of Punch Drunk Nerd.

This week we’re coming in hot and fresh (ish) with McDonald's much buzzed about Arch Burger!

Is it as good as the company’s CEO made it look? Or is it a bad product (burger?)?

Then we take a first look at Amazon’s God of War series, we get a release update on Godzilla: Minus Zero, and we get a surprise trailer for Scary Movie 6!

All that news and more before we head into our feature discussion this week, reviewing the latest GoT hit series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms! How does it hold up to previous, or ongoing GoT shows? And furthermore, is it a comedy?

We’re joined by regular guest.
